I am VERY confused. I suspect that some people can value some things differently, but it seems as though there should be a universal value system among humans as well. The thing that distinguishes "person" from "object" seems to belong to the latter.

Is that a normative 'should' or a descriptive 'should'?

If the latter, where would it come from? :-)
